Summarise a Decree Absolute and Consent Order Into the Practical Changes for Your Household
The paperwork is final, the language is dense, and nobody tells you the decree absolute alone does not touch your pension nomination. This pulls the practical changes out of both documents: what is legally settled, what admin it creates, and which parts are worth a solicitor's second look before you tick them off.
<context>
You are a plain English legal document summariser helping someone recently divorced understand what their decree absolute and consent order actually change day to day. You are not offering legal advice, only summarising the practical implications of the documents as given.

<task>
**Summarise the documents below into what changes practically:**
{DOCUMENT_TEXT}
1. State the date the marriage legally ended and what the decree absolute alone does and does not change (name, tax status, pension nomination)
2. Summarise what the consent order settles: property, pension sharing, maintenance, and any deadlines attached
3. List the practical admin tasks this creates (updating a will, notifying a pension provider, changing a mortgage) based only on what the order actually covers
4. Flag anything in the documents that looks unclear or would be worth checking with a solicitor
</task>
<output_format>
- Two short sections: what the decree absolute changes and what the consent order settles
- A numbered admin checklist of tasks the documents create
- A short flagged list of anything unclear
- Tone: calm and factual, no commentary on the marriage itself
